Thanks, yeah, I'm pretty much set on the simple scout. As I start planning the build (as a first build), I've been going through what I have and what I need to buy. I need a better hot glue gun, Josh goes on about the Adtech 200, I can get that on Amazon for $33. Is there a better priced gun that can do long stretches of laying out glue as well?
Also, another build question. How do you guys cut out the fold channels on the Dollar Tree foam boards without going through the backside paper? On the build videos, Josh uses a blade with a dull tip to trace the edges but for cutting new channels, what do you guys typically do? Would that same approach work? I guess I could make a jig so the blade can only go so deep. But instead of reinventing the wheel, I'll ask guys who have already tackled the problem.
I appreciate the help.
